What are the misunderstandings of traditional confinement?
Can not go out, doors and windows closed; can not wash the bath, you must stay in bed. Can not eat cold, fruits and vegetables can not eat, but to eat a lot of eggs, blindly Bubu, can not brush your mouth and so on. These are some of the traditional "confinement" ethical issues that have been circulated by the public and are still considered by many as confinement "gold standards." In particular, when many elderly people take care of their maternal ancestors, they are fully emphasizing the implementation of these old details in life. In fact, some traditional confinement methods are unscientific and not only unfavorable to maternal recovery, but also may cause new mothers to become infected and have nutritional imbalances.
One, doors and windows closed, not ventilated
Many people fear that the mother is caught in the wind and catch cold. Even if it is a confinement in the dog days, the doors and windows are closed, and a little of the wind is not transparent. This is unscientific. Commonly known as “postpartum winds†are actually caused by fever, and are caused by pathogenic bacteria in the maternal reproductive organs. They are usually caused by non-strict prenatal inspections for sterilization or due to lack of attention from the mother. The room is not ventilated, it is more likely to cause indoor air turbidity, bacteria increase, but not conducive to maternal recovery. When the weather is hot, it may also cause maternal heat stroke.
The main method of ensuring indoor air hygiene is to open windows for ventilation. If the weather is mild, ventilation on the window does not have any adverse effects on the parturient, as long as it is not directly facing the wind. If the weather is cold, maternity women can go to other rooms. After the room is ventilated, the window can be closed and the room temperature can be increased.
Second, can not wash your hair
Poor housing conditions in the past, no bathing equipment at home, poor heating conditions, cold temperatures often can not guarantee a warm room temperature. In this case, shampooing and bathing are indeed inconvenient and easy to catch cold. However, under current living conditions, even in the winter, most homes will be very warm and have convenient bathing conditions. It is very necessary for the mother to wash and bathe in the absence of cold. However, care should be taken to protect the wound, especially Caesarean section.
Proper sanitation is very important for both mothers and babies. The traditional concept of shampooing can not bathe, so that a large number of bacteria on the maternal body breed. Moreover, after the women's production, because of the increase in metabolism and the large amount of water in the body, they often sweat a lot and discharge lochia. In fact, they need cleaning. But also to the baby breastfeeding, intimate contact is also very easy to make bacteria exposed to delicate newborns, increase the chance of neonatal illness. Therefore, under the premise of keeping warm, postpartum should take a bath and shampoo at the right time to ensure hygiene.
Third, bedridden
In the past, it was thought that maternal physical exertion was depleted and the physical constitution was weak, so it was necessary to rest and stay in bed for a long time.
In fact, although maternal women who have undergone production are indeed physically weaker, they do not need to remain in bed all day long. This is not conducive to postpartum recovery. Under normal circumstances, natural delivery women can sit on the bed 6 to 8 hours after delivery, and they can go to the ground the next day. While maintaining rest, postpartum aerobics can also be done. Under well-insulated conditions, proper outdoor activities, exposure to fresh air, and exposure to sunlight are beneficial to both body and mind.
1, appropriate activities can strengthen the contraction of the uterus, promote the uterus back in situ, can also promote the repair of the endometrium and lochia discharge, accelerate wound healing. And can prevent postpartum diseases such as uterine prolapse.
2, appropriate activities can promote bladder function recovery, facilitate postpartum urination, prevent urinary tract infection
3, maternal need more nutrition, normal gastrointestinal function in order to ensure the normal absorption of nutrients. Appropriate activities are beneficial to promote gastrointestinal motility, restore gastrointestinal function, prevent constipation and acne.
4, postpartum if long stay in bed, it is easy to cause the formation of lower extremity phlebitis and thrombosis, postpartum must pay attention to the amount of exercise, strengthen the circulatory system, improve heart and lung function, to restore physical strength
5. Appropriate activities are very important to prevent postpartum obesity
Fourth, eat a lot of eggs
In some areas, there are customs for eating large quantities of eggs after delivery. Maternal women eat more than 5 eggs each day. Although eggs are rich in nutrients, they cannot substitute for other foods, and egg yolks contain high cholesterol, and eating large amounts of eggs can cause excessive cholesterol intake and increase the risk of diseases such as hyperlipidemia.
Moreover, the human stomach is limited. If a certain type of food is eaten too much, it will cause excessive intake of other foods, and it is very easy to rely on an imbalance of nutrition. This is very important for women who need to restore their body and produce milk. Adverse.
Adults eat one egg a day to meet their needs, and maternal intake of up to two a day is sufficient. In particular, food is now very abundant. Many people have excess monthly food nutrition and energy is excessive. So no matter what kind of food, it must be enough.
Five, can not eat vegetables and fruits in the month
Traditionally, vegetables and fruits are considered to be cold things, and maternal women can't get cold. Therefore, vegetables and fruits cannot be eaten. This is a very wrong practice.
Vegetables and fruits are rich in nutrients, rich in vitamins, minerals, dietary fiber, and also contain many phytochemicals that are beneficial to health. Especially green leafy vegetables have more abundant nutrients. These nutrients are very beneficial for maternal recovery and promote milk secretion. For example, B vitamins can promote gastrointestinal motility and promote digestion and absorption of productive nutrients; vitamin C is beneficial to wound healing; green leafy vegetables are a good source of calcium and magnesium, and many vegetables Fruit can provide quite a lot of potassium.
In addition, fruits and vegetables are rich in water and low in energy, which can prevent excess energy. Abundant dietary fiber can also prevent constipation, and it is beneficial for mothers to control their weight. Eating enough fruits and vegetables can also prevent meat from eating too much and play an important role in dietary balance.
For new mothers, in the few days immediately after they are produced, they should not eat pears and watermelons that are too cold. In the following days, they must eat vegetables and fruits every day. It is better to be able to make meals and have vegetables. There are fruits. 300-500 grams of vegetables are guaranteed every day, two-thirds of which are green leafy vegetables, plus 200-400 grams of fruit.
Sixth, production is expensive, confinement to eat well, Dabu
In the past, the low standard of living, poor nutrition in peacetime, coupled with the large expense of children, so the traditional concept of confinement to eat a lot of high-fat foods to fill. This has some truth in the past.
However, the nutritional level of modern people has been greatly improved, the vast majority of people have excess nutrients, women often have increased too much energy during pregnancy, many pregnant women have increased too much during the period of pregnancy. After women’s production, they need not only to restore their physical consumption, but also to have sufficient nutrition to produce milk. They really need more energy and nutrition than ordinary people, but they are not meant to be blindly added. They do not mean that they have to eat a lot of high-fat high foods. Energy food.
Postpartum women need to increase the intake of fish, poultry, eggs, lean meat and seafood. The total amount of meat for a day is approximately 200-300 grams to ensure high-quality protein. The fat, trotters, chicken feet, pigskin and other fat content is too high, protein quality is not high, easy to cause maternal obesity, should not eat. And too much fat can sometimes reduce lactation.
The meal during the confinement period must ensure a diversified and balanced diet. All kinds of food must be eaten, and animal foods should not be eaten. To ensure that food is varied, adequate but not excessive, is conducive to maternal health, but also to ensure milk secretion and milk quality.
Confinement is a very special period of a woman's life. Although special, it does not mean that she is sick. During the month of confinement, more nutrition and care are needed. However, we must pay attention to science and reasonableness and abandon unreasonable bad habits.
Many traditional ideas are not wrong. There may be some truth in the circumstances and conditions of the past. However, when the dietary structure and living environment have changed greatly, it would be too unreasonable and unscientific to completely duplicate the inappropriate "traditions" of the past.
The month must sit scientifically to enable the mother to restore her body as soon as possible, to secrete sufficient milk and to feed her baby.
